Aloha mai kākou,
As we embrace the fall semester, let’s kōkua to make a profound impact, rekindle hope, and build a healthier and stronger community.
The university’s 2023 Oʻahu Aloha United Way campaign is underway. Now more than ever, your kōkua is needed in our community, especially for those impacted by the devastating fires on Maui.
Kapiʻolani CC’s Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs offices are organizing our campus campaign this month to contribute towards UH’s overall goal of $165,000.
There are two upcoming campus events where you are invited to participate to support this year’s UH AUW campaign.
How to Show Support through Kapiʻolani CC.
Purchase hamburger and chips tickets for $5 from September 20 to September 27 at the VCAA Office (ʻIlima 206). Redeem your ticket for your order at the Great Lawn on September 28.
Participate in Dollar Wars on Campus. From September 20 through September 27, campus units will compete to raise the most money – contributions can be in any bill denomination. Beware, the $20 bill will subtract points from your total amount!

Your Support
To support individuals and families devastated by Maui’s fires, Aloha United Way has established a Maui Fire Relief Fund. 100% of the proceeds are directed to Maui United Way whose partner agencies, such as Maui Food Bank, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, are distributing relief funds according to the community’s most urgent needs.
The programs supported through the AUW campaign help in numerous ways—preparing our keiki to succeed in school, supporting health-related research, feeding the hungry, caring for the elderly, rehousing homeless families, and so much more.
If you have any questions, please visit the FAQs or email our Office of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at kccauw@hawaii.edu.
Mahalo for supporting Aloha United Way!
